Clinically, patients do not have capacity to accumulate urine and urine continously leak. We present patient with partial storing capacity from the dialated distal ureters. A case of dialated distal ureters from an 8-year-old female patient with ectopic vesicae is described. The dialated ureters act as reservoir of urine where the patient is partially continent in the night time. These dialated ureters are the compensation for the literally absent bladder. During reconstruction, we observed that they can be used as an additional bladder volume reducing risk of reconstruction failure from tension.展开更多
